Fig. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of a cooking control device .
Detailed description of the embodiment or embodiments 5 As Fig. 1 shows in a preferred embodiment, the cooking control device 100 has a general shape of a spoon. Its length 115 is about 250 mm, its depth 105 is about 20 mm and its width 110 is about 50 mm. At its tip it has sensors 120, preferably nano taste receptors for food tastes that preferably correspond to .0 the taste sensors in the human mouth. Preferably, tastes of salt, umami, sourness, bitterness and sweetness can be sensed. The cooking control device 100 may be equipped with an energy source 125, a processor 160 to quantify the results measured by the sensors; and may be equipped with a communication unit 145 .5 to communicate taste values to the outside. The edges may be made of steel 140 to reinforce the structure of the cooking control device. Preferably, the cooking control device 100 is equipped with an indicator 130 to indicate the current cooking status . >o
Beneficially, the indicator 130 comprises one or plural LEDs. An indication can then be given in terms of colour to indicate a particular taste or intermittent blinking patterns. Also if plural LEDs are present, a bar chart can be presented to quantify 25 the particular taste value by indicating a percentage of 100% in switching on a corresponding number of LEDs on the cooking control device.
Food is an essential part of our life. It is one of our most 30 basic needs and vital for our wellbeing. It is something that can give us great experiences as well as help us to remember or create new and valid memories. The cooking control device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is an intelligent kitchen appliance that assists a user in perfecting his 35 cooking skills and becoming a skilled chef. Thus, it is no long- 6 P4837AU00 2013289350 13 Dec 2016 er ones level of cooking expertise, cooking experience or knowledge of taste and spices that defines the outcome of the daily cooking. Instead, the cooking control device 100 personally assists a user in creating perfectly prepared meals. The 5 cooking control device 100 in a non-traditional manner may aid in visualizing the progress of the cooking, aid in enhancing aromas and present results in form of sound, voice and charts while presenting instructions and tips during the cooking process . _o
For instance, a cook may be able to smell if the steak is seasoned properly, see if a sauce is about to burn to the pan or may get auditory tips on how to enhance the flavours of the specific dish. The sensors 120 e.g. in form of nano taste receptors .5 are state-of-the-art sensor technology and allow to take multiple outputs coming from the food in a continuous fashion during the cooking process. The most important parameters that will e.g. be measured are heat, smell and taste. The cooking control device 100 is able to be used by everyone in a daily dinner to cooking. It may however also assist people that cook on a regular basis and eliminate for those people the risk of failure when cooking new dishes.
Sensors 120 among others may include ones capable to determine 25 the salt amount for pasta cooking. Moreover, the sensor may operate by direct contact or indirect by capacitive inductive or optical coupling and measuring frequency and amplitude spectra and then deducing the salt content or any other taste composition . 30
Sensors 120 may also favourably include temperature and smell sensors. The corresponding power supply of the cooking control device 100 may be established by means of a battery or an inductive field e.g. an extra coil of an induction heater, active or 35 passive RFID. An indicator 130 of the cooking control device 100 7 P4837AU00 2013289350 13 Dec 2016 may indicate with colour an on and off state, the presence of an optimum cooking state, e.g. optimum salt content of the pasta pot by indicating blue colour, or blinking of an LED, or OLED stripe. The cooking control device 100 further may incorporate a 5 hole at the front tip that is immersed into the cooking substance or may be closed like a spoon. A hole in the front part where the sensors 120 are located helps intensify the exposure of the sensors 120 to the cooking substance because when the cooking substance is stirred with the cooking control device, .0 the substance passes by the sensors in a current. The material composition of a cooking control device 100 should preferably be in a manner that it allows an exposure 120°C for fluids or up to 300°C for applications in oil or grease. Further, it should be dishwater-resistant. The communication unit 145 may be operating .5 wireless by Bluetooth or normal radio at 433 MHz /868 MHz /2,4 GHz or WLAN or by infrared or near-field communication (NFC). Also other standard frequency bands, based on the territory of operation, are possible, such as 902 to 928 MHz for North America or South America. A control electronic represented on loca-!0 tion by a processor 160 or outside by a display processing device 170 may receive signals from the cooking control device and evaluate the signals leading to a corresponding display function e.g. not enough salt, optimum taste composition. The indicator 130 can be beneficially on the cooking control device 100 itself 25 or on a separate Smartphone or tablet.
Examples of the use of the cooking control device 100 are measuring of grease quality, measuring of salt content, measuring of temperature. Also measuring of taste compositions for instance 30 according certain taste directions is possible e.g. suitable for Asia style, establishing homogeneous balance of tastes, providing season adapted tastes, supplying wellness adapted recipes like e.g. cucumber water; control preparation of diet food for sick persons e.g. few salt with blood pressure; allow alterna-35 tive sweetening with stevia instead of sugar; assist in prepar- 8 P4837AU00 2013289350 13 Dec 2016 ing mushroom dishes, as some mushrooms are very bitter which can be measured; bitter dishes like zucchini soup can be perfected where the bitterness grade can be measured and can be compensated with spices; also a vinegar content of marinades can be 5 determined for optimizing it by optimizing a sweet-sour relationship; and a long-term preservation can be optimized by establishing a minimum acidity content. A computer program product 350 according to the present inven--0 tion can be presented in form of an Application also called "App" at a general App Store available e.g. for "IOS" ® or "Android" ® general purpose devices.
Humans can recognize basically five different taste sensations .5 bitterness, saltiness, sourness, sweetness and umami. A well cooked and perfectly seasoned meal is usually present when the balance of these five tastes is reached. The five different tastes are present in many unlike ways and can be brought out with a wide variety of items that can be stored in a memory in a !0 cooking control system 200.
Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a cooking control system 200 according to the present invention. It comprises at least a cooking control device 100 that has been explained in Fig. 1 and a 25 display processing device 170. The display processing device 170 and the cooking control device 100 are preferably coupled by means of a wireless connection indicated by arrows 150 and 180. Here, a Bluetooth symbol 155 is shown. But also infrared, general radio, wireless LAN, near-field communication and the like 30 may be used. The display processing device 170 has a display unit 185 that presents a diagram 175. It may be a tablet computer and include a memory and a processor 182. Here, in this case, the diagram 175 is presented as a spiderweb diagram that shows e.g. the taste value of saltiness 190. This taste value was 35 measured by the sensors 120 of the cooking control device 100 9 P4837AU00 2013289350 13 Dec 2016 that were immersed into the cooking substance. The display processing device 170 can either be a dedicated device or be a general purpose device like a Smartphone or a tablet that can be personalized by a computer program product as indicated in Fig. 5 3 by 350, which will e.g. be offered in form of a small application also called App and be available for download over the
WorldWideWeb at particular websites.
Fig. 3 shows an example of an embodiment of a display processing .0 device 170. At the display 175 of the display processing device 170, for instance a particular recipe 350 is presented. Below, the current taste status is presented in form of a spiderweb diagram visualizing taste values for saltiness 190, umami 310, sourness 315, bitterness 320 and sweetness 325. The display 175 .5 may be presenting alternative options of diagrams e.g. select a bar chart 330. Further, depending on the current status of the taste values and stored values, e.g. in form of a recipe, a flavour tip may be given that is indicated at 340. This may allow a user to select particular spices to improve the cooking results. >0 Herein, improving preferably means, that a stored desired profile of taste values is compared to the currently measured taste values. Differences are established and recommendations may be given to minimize the differences by adding certain spices or certain food components. In this manner, the use of spices and 25 flavour enhancers gives the possibility to guide the taste of the food in a direction that is desired. There is no final way of determining what is right, but there is a general understanding of how different traditional dishes should be tasting. E.g. once the cooking control device 100 is immersed into the cooking 30 substance, it may e.g. start transmitting taste values to the display processing device. In the case of a spiderweb diagram, coloured areas for instance will draw out towards the taste areas where the current status of the cooking substance is present. E.g. if assistance or tips for taste enrichment is desired, a 35 push of the button flavour tips 340 e.g. on a touchscreen may 10 P4837AU00 2013289350 13 Dec 2016 present suggestions and ideas how to modify the cooking substance. For instance, a recommendation could be given in order to enrich the umami taste by adding fresh tomatoes into the cooking substance. For measurement e.g. the surface of the cook-5 ing control device comprises millions of nano taste receptors marked by 120 in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 shows another embodiment of a cooking control system 400 according to the present invention. It has a closed spoon area i) 405, is equipped with taste receptors 120 and presents a display 175 equipped with a processor 160. An advantage of the cooking control system 400 is that it is a single unit design and needs no external communication and processing capabilities. .5 Further, Fig. 5 shows a cooking control system 500 that also has a display unit 175, a processor 160 and sensors 120. The cooking control system 500 is e.g. attached to the upper edge 510 of a cook pot. >0 The sensors 120 may be e.g. exposed to the cooking substance or may work contactless.
Where ever it is used, the word "comprising" is to be understood in its "open" sense, that is, in the sense of "including", and 25 thus not limited to its "closed" sense, that is the sense of "consisting only of". A corresponding meaning is to be attributed to the corresponding words "comprise", "comprised" and "comprises" where they appear. 30 While particular embodiments of this invention have been described, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments and examples are therefore to be considered 35 in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all 11 P4837AU00 2013289350 13 Dec 2016 modifications are therefore which would be obvious to those skilled in the art intended to be embraced therein. 12 P4837AU00 2013289350 13 Dec 2016
